In research published last summer, scientists revealed that prenatal exposure to methylmercury, an organic form of mercury that accumulates in animal tissues, may affect the blood pressure and ability to respond to sensory stimuli in exposed children later in life. The team is now also confirming findings of mercury-related neurodevelopmental effects among the Faroese subjects by studying a cohort of Madeiran children.
在去年夏天发表的一项研究中，科学家们揭示，孕期接触甲基汞（一种积聚在动物组织中的有机汞形式）可能会影响受暴露儿童日后生活中的血压以及对感官刺激的反应能力。该团队目前还通过对一群马德拉群岛儿童的研究，证实了法罗群岛人群中与汞相关的神经发育影响的研究结果。
